 SENATE ADJOURNS EMERGENCY PLENARY ON STATE POLICE OVER REP’S DEATH. The Senate today suspended consideration of the highly anticipated State Police Bill and all other legislative business at its emergency plenary session to honour the memory of Hon. Yaya Tongo, a member of the House of Representatives, whose death cast a sombre mood over the National Assembly. The upper chamber had reconvened from recess amid expectations that lawmakers would accelerate action on the proposed constitutional amendment seeking to establish state police across the federation, a measure widely seen as a major step in the ongoing effort to reform Nigeria’s security architecture. However, proceedings were cut short after Senate President Godswill Akpabio announced the death of Tongo, who represented the Kwami/Funakaye Federal Constituency of Gombe State in the House of Representatives.

 Criminal of the week- 

A North Carolina man drove a stolen truck to steal a forklift. He made a bold getaway using the stolen forklift to carry the stolen truck.


Deputies in Rowan County, North Carolina responded to an unusual call on Sunday, March 30th. Deputies were called to Karriker Farm Road to the report of a stolen forklift.


Witnesses told deputies that a man (later identified as Richard Webb) had arrived to the property in a Ford Ranger. They said Webb exited the vehicle and proceeded to steal the fork lift. Amazingly, while making his getaway in the forklift, Mr. Webb scooped up the Ford Ranger and beat a hasty retreat with both vehicles. The Ford Ranger was later determined to have also been stolen by Webb.


Authorities eventually caught up with Webb driving the forklift down Cooper Road approximately 8 miles from where the theft occurred. At the time Webb was pulled over, he had a passenger with him.


The passenger, Christy Tipton, was also arrested. The two were suspects in multiple weekend larceny cases.


The stolen Ford Ranger was later found in the woods off of Deal Road where Webb had dumped it. Authorities were able to recover multiple stolen items from the vehicle.


Both Richard Webb and Christy Tipton were charged in connection with the theft of the forklift in addition to criminal damage to property charges.


Tipton and Webb were booked into Rowan County Detention Center. Christy Tipton has been released on bond as of April 1st. Richard Webb remains in custody.
